But, not as pink as Leanne Eddleston's Pantera. Even those beautiful Campagnolo wheels were pink. The great doctor also bought her a pink helicopter.
This is the ex-Beverley Bonython orange sports. She had a thing about orange. Her cars had to be a particular shade of orange too. After that car came out that colour appeared on the Bolwell paint chart, although I know of no others. It is now a dark metallic green and lives in Whyalla, sharing its bedroom with an NSX. Yes, the reversing lights are on because I am doing a reverse slalom at the Hamilton Easter.
James, somebody else picked up on Bolwell's superstition in not producing a chassis no. 13 and put that number on a Fibrecar sports that they built.
The photograph of the hardtop wasn't exactly groundbreaking. That was the only one I had ever seen. Later, when I bought the orange car, I wanted to get a hardtop and found there was nothing like that around (or so I thought). I tried unsuccessfully to modify a Sprite one. The results of that I last saw going out the gate at a fire sale at Shakespeare Fibreglass. Now I'm getting emails saying I've got a hardtop just like that one. I guess I'm just not in the loop.
